Then we would have to modify squid so that it would have a flag and
loop condition so that it would retry if there was another IP address
One thing that we must make sure of is that if there are 2 concurrent
gets of different files from the same server, and the one fails,
it doesn't trash the working/open one...
It seems that if 2 people are downloading a file, and the first one
is cancelled, the other continues? This is GREAT!
(This happens often.. Netscape normally opens 4 concurrent connections
to a server)

I think I missed the "black hole" problem? Which one are you
referring to?

Absolutely! And Keep up the good work to the developers!
